Three BB's in NH have them in.

None near my house do, and haven't for a week

Doesn't Microsoft want my $400 bucks?

Best Buy's around me say they get a shipment in about once a week. Day varies as well as quantity.

On Wednesday, I called on and they had 1 prem and 2 core systems in the store. I ran up there and got the last prem system they had gotten in that day. It was about 4pm at that point, so the shipment must have came in recently. I can't imagine these came in before they opened or the night before and were still in the store half a day later.

I don't know if anyone is interested but walmart.com has some bundles in stock

Some premiums available in Concord NH Bestbuy.

Dell has this Core Bundle in stock.

For $650, you get:
Core System ($400 MSRP)
Additional wireless controller ($50 MSRP)
Universal media remote ($30 MSRP)
Two 64MB memory units ($80 MSRP)
Perfect Dark Zero ($50 MSRP)
Project Gotham Racing ($50 MSRP)
Xbox Live Kit with 12-month subscription and headset ($70 MSRP)
Play and Charge Kit ($20 MSRP)

So the total value of this is about $750 if you were to buy it in the store. Then there's a $35 off $300 coupon for Dell @ Home (either you have it already or pay $2 for it on eBay).

So, if you can't find one at all, this might be a good option.

The bundles seem like they are always in now, but I am glad I didn't get one. I just happen to see one when walking through Kmart to the video game section, and they have been getting them in ever since. Check out your local Kmart, our Walmart got a bunch at launch, and then the second wave, but I have never once seen one there.

My brother is trying to get a 360. We were at Circuit City today and they had 1 in stock yesterday.

For those looking, keep checking there. They seem to be the only B&M I've been to that actually has them on the weekends.

I still haven't been able to find one at a Bestbuy near me. Any idea when a big restocking will be coming from Microsoft?

Yeah, the Best Buy down the street had some for a few hours one day, but it's been a solid two weeks of checking the Product Finder with no 360s anywhere near me.

I cannot believe this shortage is STILL going on...

My Best Buy always has cores in stock. Too bad I'm not interested in a 360 anymore.

My cousin's still trying to get one. Can'y find any anywhere in the NYC metro area.

The best buys here in the Chicago suburbs get some every once in a while and sell out quickly. Good thing I don't have the money or the urge(lack of games for my tastes) to buy one right now. I'll probablly get one when the ps3 comes out as everyone and their mother will try to get a ps3 and probablly sell it on ebay.

If you really wanted a 360 you would just find someone that has one and kill them for it. Go ahead and do it. I know you want to. You need it, you want it, you can not live without it and the only thing standing in your way is a punk kid that doesn't deserve the 360.

You know what must be done. A well placed judo chop, bullet to the head, or baseball bat the choice is yours. Just don't get any blood on the 360, it doesn't like blood only souls. Now go get your xbox....Killer.

Oh can you pick one up for me also?

You're not alone nick. It's not so much I'm not interested as more than cautious. I just don't care for something that's not only a new product but one that's short in supply and with a sense of being "rushed" through. I didn't buy an XBox when it first came out and I'm in a holding pattern with this one.

My wife asked me last night if I was still playing with the guys online and I said no since most got the new 360. She asked if I need to get it and I turned it down. In fact I'm probably letting my on-line subscription expire since most of the "DVD Halo Clan" is 360 now. My current XBox is still fun and with plenty of bargin games at $10-$15 to play. I'll probably get one still. It may be in two months or the end of the year. But it'll be when I can just walk in and pull it off the shelf without fighting for it. Nothing is worth all that crap.

I tried to get the 360 on lauch, but no dice. I'd been trying, and trying and everyone was always sold out. I wanted the 360 so bad, so when our income tax came in, I went to Ebay and spent 550.00, including shipping, for a Premium system. The day it came to me via FED EX, I ran down to Wally World to pick up a couple of games and an extra controller and what do I see...Damnit...3 premiums and 1 core system sitting behind the display case. My wife starts laughing at me, by daughter starts laughing at me, complete strangers start laughing at me....I start laughing at me


That's ok though, I've never been a patient man. I had to get my fix

Quick correction: the xbox 360 core msrp is 300 (299.99) not 400 (399.99). Thanks for the tip though. If I had one of those coupons I think I would jump on this.

For those in the Raleigh area, the Best Buy on Glenwood Ave has both Premiums and Cores in stock as of right now.

You're so afraid to play UC2 with me that you're gonna let your sub run out. Man that's weak

i'm so pissed. the online inventory link says west L.A. (pico) and hawthorne,ca has them but when i went to both stores, the blue robots told me they're out. either those fuckers are lying to my face or that online inventory checker is bunk.

Between time and the "house" it's becoming harder to play single player let alone online. Plus I've taken up my old passion astronomy. I chatted with Bean and assured him I'll work on getting a 360 so ya'll have someone to pick on.

Speaking of UC2 I've played it with melee only with three juggernauts against (5) and it's a hoot.
Did just finish Project: Snowblind and it did turn out to be pretty good despite being easy.

You mean these STILL are not available in stores? NOW will everyone concede that this is a "failed launch"?!??!?!

If you are in iowa and looking for one, best buy gets them in almost every tuesday around 12-2 in the afternoon. They sell out quick though. Just check the availability tracker every so often and you should be able to find one pretty easily.

No, I don't think I will. They'll have sold 2.5 million consoles in 90 days. Not really a failure, even though demand is way beyond that. And really, with demand so freaking high...

How can we call it a failure?
